End of summer blues

It feels like just yesterday I was writing about the warm weather approaching, the beach, boats and swimming at all hours of the day/night. Now, all of a sudden, it’s Labor Day weekend.

How did that happen?

I have realized that as I get older (and I know I’m not that old) time goes by faster and faster. The weekends don’t seem as long and I cannot quite finish all that I want to do.

This summer flew by and I honestly do not know where it went (maybe it was that two week vacation in Hawaii, which I will blog about next time). There is still more I wanted to do and experience, but time is running out.

Fall is quickly approaching; my pool is definitely an indication. It’s been a little too cold to swim, a saddening fact that has left my pool dormant and unused.

So as white pants become brown, and mint chocolate chip coffee turns to pumpkin, fall will be here soon.
